This is precisely the reason why I will NOT be getting an iPhone just to deal with AT&Ts bullcrap! I am probably going to piss off people ion this board but I hope Apple suffers from this exclusive deal so they me able to learn from their mistake. They could really wipe the map with customers if they opened up their iphone to more carriers. AT&T will just continue to jack up their price and continue cutting service. I bet when you call for support you get some second...

Just imagine what kind of sales Apple could generate if they released the iphone for all the carriers. I personally refuse to be locked into ATT! I will just get a blackberry instead and continue to use Tmobile. Apple will not ever overtake RIMM with the ATT exclusive crap!

I think Apple needs to sell the iphone for other carriers and allow it to be unlocked. AT&Ts rates are ridiculously high. I wanted to get an iphone so bad, but I absolutely refused to be locked into AT&T, so I went with T-Mobile. I was not about to risk a $400 investment and try to hack it so I could get it unlocked. I think Apples exclusivity with ATT is a bad move. They could open the doors up to a much wider audience if they allowed the phone to be unlocked!

You are not going to find a system priced $600 retail that will prop up a geforce 8800GT. Even if you did you are talking about bottleneck city.
While your at it why dont you put an outboard motor on your yacht, or a car engine in your private jet.
